Great, but that says nothing about how to get persistence/become persistent. What you say correct, but its not actionable on its own. For me, I find that if I work on something, eventually, my interest in it wanes and other things become more important. Unless I start making significant progress, its then only a matter of time before it fizzles out. There's only so many weeks or months I can work on something before my mind craves something else. What definitely helps me stay focused long term is to not work on something on my own. When others are involved, then when my mind starts thinking of new things, I can set it aside and say to myself "no, stay focused, I don't want to let ABC down". Sadly when ABC is me, it doesn't work very well, but if its someone else, especially someone I care about, then it helps me stay focused. Currently on month ten of a large side project with my brother and still going strong :)
